Yey it's the weekend !!!
Hope you are all ok ?

I am wiped out , been a long week for such a short week if that makes sense ?
Really, really busy at work today - then I missed the bus home so it was nearly 8.00 before I walked in the door tonight ! Have eaten & now crashed out - dont think I will be long for bed tonight

House is a tip & that's not good! These kids have to learn that if we are going to sell house they need to do their bit - effort from all will be required. Visit day tomorrow (another wknd the kids are not staying at Dads) I am tired of making excuses for him now - I just wish he understood that each time he does this , they care a little bit less about it ...... Well it's his loss !

The three of us are going to meal plan tomorrow & do the shopping by the list bake some goodies & make a start with sorting out

Only spend today was bus fare so that's good all in all not a bad week. And I have seen someone "interesting" 3 days this week - it's a good start to the day when someone nice grins & waves at you .....

Right , dishes , tidy around and I need to start to do list - this house isn't going to sell itself !

:wave: Glad to hear you've had a good if not hectic week.
I've spent the whole day shopping and housework myself so i know what a thankless task it is with 2 kids in the house!!!! Never bloomin ending...

Hi Sis
Poor you ! It's never ending isn't it ? We are so getting a rota going around here - these kids aren't going to know whats hit them !!

Double edged sword today - the "new" car arrived today .... Which means I can use the other one for a few weeks - I know I should be grateful but somehow , it sticks in my throat ?

Anyway - I intend to enjoy my wknd & try to be productive

Right , have been pondering the whole car situation. Truth is I feel bad using his - makes me feel like a hypocrite ..... But - I need a car so I think I am going to have to swallow my pride here.
I need to be able to do trips to tip etc as have a lot of rubbish to get rid of and hope to do a car boot sale - slightly tricky without the car boot :rotfl:
Hopefully , can afford to get mine fixed at end of month so it's not for long. Also , bus v expensive and adds nearly 2 hours to my working day ...... Ok decision made I guess.

It's lovely & sunny today ...... Off to start my list of things I need to do - it's going to be a long one though !

Looking forward to chilling tonight - always dread Saturday's !

Coco, he owes you big time so think nothing of using his car. Good luck with the car boot sale, I've got all my stuff sorted and ready to go but am a bit chicken when it finally comes down to setting a date!

DH working another extra day so me and kids going for a long walk with the dog, that is if DS ever wakes up! Got my shopping in already though there is no alcohol in the house so may need to invest in a bottle of wine for later.

So who is this nice chap? You know you'll need to run a credit check on him before anything happens there!!

Have a great weekend.

Morning B

Def get the vino - I have 1/2 bottle in fridge for tonight ... Rock & roll :rotfl:

Nice chap ? Well , when I first separated (but before he moved out) my friend dragged me out for a cheer up night - which didn't work but anyway. Got chatting to this guy - he told me he had admired me from afar for several years but he knew I was married & totally respected that. Now at the time I wasn't in any kind of emotional place to even contemplate it so I kind of forgot about it.
I see him around and he always smiles & says hi. But that's it so far

Will let you know if any progress ......

Enjoy your walk - hope it's nice there ? I am in a state of shock today - my eldest has just got up :eek:
I was so stunned to see him before midday - I made him stand in front of kitchen clock and took a picture - he was not amused :rotfl:

Morning Coco.

Hypocrite. Good grief woman! You do love to make his life easier and yours harder.

You should take your car round to him and tell him you're hanging on to his until he gets yours fixed. And I use the term his and yours loosely and purely for the purpose of clarity in this situation.

When he moans, and he will, grab him firmly by the throat, figuratively speaking, and explain that a car is necessary to the upkeep of his children and your job. Then explain to him, and at this point I'd relax your grip slightly so he can breath, that your job is what is enabling you to keep HIS creditors of his back.

You will be amazed at how good this will make you feel.

Enjoy the rest of your day and the wine this evening :beer:

What masonn says - he owes you a lot - he should be giving you that flipping car for free tbh!

Afternoon all
So I now have a car for a month or so:T
While we were at his , he went and did air & water & put half tank petrol in it for me and gave kids £20 for a takeaway so they are happy !

Need to get some groceries later but want to do meal plan first before I go - don't have many ££ left so need to be careful

Going to do some housework later & try and find something on TV ..... Unless Sista starts her diary of course lol , no pressure :rotfl:
